Scots drop two games, league losing streak hits 35
The first test this past week for Alma’s men’s basketball team was on January 28 against MIAA conference leader Hope. After trailing by twenty one at halftime, the Scots were able to slice into the deficit in the second half. However, the pure shooting of the Dutchmen enabled them to even-tually pull away, winning the game 86 - 59. Anthony Jones (07) led the way for Alma with 15 points in 30 minutes of play. Brian Hall (07) contributed ten points, while Eric Jones (04) and Mike Thompson (07) each had eight. Isaac Smith (07) crashed the boards with five re-bounds in 22 minutes of game time.
